Applying a Revolve effect
The Revolve effect is a great way to create a three-dimensional object from an open or
closed path that makes up half of the desired 3D object's profile. With the Revolve effect
applied, the object is revolved around the y axis (vertical) to create the 3D object. Next, you
are going to revolve the group of objects that make up the barbells. The group is treated as a
single object and is revolved around a single axis.
1.
With the Selection tool ( ), click to select the gray barbells group.
2.
Choose Effect > 3D > Revolve.
3.
In the 3D Revolve Options dialog box, choose Right Edge in the From menu (below
Cap). Select Preview to see the change, and then click OK. The 3D effect is applied
but needs to be edited to work in the design.
